 THE '8i CLASS REUNION 
 AT PRINCETON, 
 
 June 8-13, 1906 
 
 By the Secretary 
 t: D W I N A . D I X 
 
 The Twenty-fitth Anniversary Reunion was a 
 "tremenjous" success. The Class's former reunions 
 have been, like George Washington, good and great, 
 but this one was undoubtedly the best ever. Forty- 
 four men, all told, were in attendance. Those who 
 came had their reward. Those who could not come, 
 we are sorry for. Those who could have come and 
 did not, ought to be sorry for themselves, for they 
 missed the particular time of their lives. 
 
 The success of the reunion was due in part, of 
 course, to the especial events and stunts of the oc- 
 
 I 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 casion ; but it was due still more to the remarkable 
 evidences of warm feeling and closeness which the 
 Class has of late years developed so markedly. 
 There was more than friendliness and good-will in 
 the meeting of the men one with another ; there was 
 a real affection ; and it was confined to no group or 
 set, but manifested itself as a general and splendid 
 exhibition of Class spirit and comradeship. One of 
 the men writes, in a subsequent note to the Secre- 
 tary : " I expected to find good-fellowship at the 
 Class Reunion, but the fact exceeded my expecta- 
 tions, — the boys are just like a big family. What 
 touched me past expression was the atmosphere of 
 loving-kindness. It seemed as if everybody was 
 trying to say the kindest things possible. Never 
 was there, I think, anything like it in the world. To 
 me, coming back for the first time in fifteen years, 
 the charm of it all was very great." 
 
 The Class's thanks for the excellent arrangements 
 made for the Reunion are whollv due to Munn and 
 Hudnut, who for months preceding gave lavishly of 
 both time and care in discussing and perfecting the 
 plans. Dufiield and van Dyke, at the Princeton end 
 of the line, ably seconded their efforts. The Class 
 Headquarters was at No. 44 Mercer Street, just 
 opposite the old Ivy Hall. The choice proved ad- 
 mirable. The location was conveniently central, 
 and the house itself, with its double parlors and 
 adjacent dining-room, its shadv front porch, and 
 
THE '81 CLASS REUNION 
 
 the little garden in front, was capitally adapted to 
 reunion purposes. Bedrooms upstairs and in the 
 Seminary Building near by were available for those 
 of the fellows who desired them ; and breakfasts were 
 served by Coles, the man in charge. A piano was 
 provided, and modest liquid refreshments were ob- 
 tainable (on payment) bv those who felt the need 
 of hearing the ice clink against the sides of the 
 glasses. 
 
 The men began to drift toward Princeton on 
 Friday, and on Saturdav morning there was a steady 
 string of '81 men converging upon Headquarters 
 with their suit-cases and the smiles that wouldn't 
 come off. It was " Hello, Billy Roberts! " and 
 " Here comes Joe Hubbard," and " How are you, 
 Frank Gledhill ? " and similar ejaculations and gratu- 
 lations, from mid-forenoon till it was time to form 
 for the great pe-rade to the game at two o'clock. 
 Brown, Cauldwell and Farr cut the exercises for 
 a while to try one another out on a round at golt, 
 but most of the men stayed about Headquarters. A 
 general reminiscencing, a joshing and jollying, among 
 men that hadn't met, some of them, for five or per- 
 haps even tw^enty-five years, went on on that wide, 
 shady porch all the morning; just the sort of thing 
 that one comes for, quite as much as tor the formal 
 class-meeting and the dinner and the like ; the sort 
 of thing that was alone worth the time and trouble 
 of getting to Princeton; the sort of thing that you 
 
 3 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 fellows who did not get to the reunion shouldn't 
 have missed for anything, and certainly mustn't 
 miss next time ! 
 
 The pe-rade was a most imposing aftair. The men 
 were simply but strikingly decorated with orange- 
 and-black hat-bands, and with wide orange-and-black 
 sashes, worn diagonally over one shoulder and under 
 the other arm ; and all carried orange and-black-flags. 
 The huge Class Banner was borne aloft by the two 
 men in charge of Headquarters, and the Class was 
 preceded by the Rittenhouse Military Band of twenty 
 pieces, and followed by Pliny Fisk's big automobile 
 with horn honking and flags waving. Thirty-eight 
 men of the Class lined up for the procession. At the 
 farther end of Dickinson a halt was made, and Rose 
 took the excellent photograph in the frontispiece.'^ 
 All along the line of march, as we passed groups of 
 spectators, or other classes forming, cheers rang out 
 for the Class of '8i. At least one wholly disinterested 
 and impartial observer, known to the Sec- 
 
 retary, pronounced '8i the finest body of men in the 
 parade. The long column of classes made the usual 
 inner circuit of the ball-grounds amid great enthu- 
 siasm from the grand stand and bleachers, and then 
 all took seats for the game. 
 
 The game has become historic now, and needs no

THE '81 CLASS REUNION 
 
 description here. It was one of the closest games 
 ever played by college nines, — absorbing in the 
 strained intensity of the middle innings, and electri- 
 fying in its unexpected and brilliant climax. No 
 more dramatic baseball moment can be conceived 
 than when, with Princeton's losing nine at the bat 
 in the last half of the ninth inning, two men on bases 
 and two men out, a clean, swift daisy-cutter was 
 rapped forth which sent the two runners triumphantly 
 home and won the game and the season's champion- 
 ship for Princeton. Little wonder that the mem- 
 bers of the nine ran for their lives to the clubhouse 
 after the game, to save themselves from the jubilant 
 mobbing of the uproarious field. 
 
 On Saturday evening the Class foregathered at 
 Headquarters, and yarned and smoked and sang till 
 a shamelessly late hour. 
 
 On Sunday, after the baccalaureate sermon (the 
 attendance on which, on the part of '81, the Secre- 
 tary declines to give out in figures), came one of the 
 most enjoyable and successful affairs that the Class 
 has ever attended, — the luncheon at Aleck Hud- 
 nut's, in his charming new home at the end of Li- 
 brarv Place, out bevond Paul van Dyke's. The 
 members of the Class were greeted in the drawing- 
 room by Mr. and Mrs. Hudnut and Miss Hudnut, 
 Aleck's parents and sister. Then, proceeding to 
 the dining-room, the men took places at a huge 
 round table almost completely filling the main room 
 
 5 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 and elaborately decorated with flowers and flags in 
 Princeton colors. Two overflow tables were in readi- 
 ness for those whom the large table could not accom- 
 modate. The following men sat down: Munn, Farr, 
 and his son (the Class Boy), Sinclair, Dodd, Cauld- 
 well, Wills, van Dyke, Van Alen, Butler, Vlymen, 
 Kirk, Fowler, Jackson, Duffield, Arthur Scribner, 
 Hubbard, Brown, T, D. Warren, Monroe, Fred. 
 Davis, Rodgers, Dix and Hudnut. 
 
 The luncheon was a real shef-do-over^ a tower-de- 
 force^ a cul-de-sac^ an entente cordiale, and nobody 
 skipped anything. While it was being negotiated, 
 Aleck sprang a surprise on the Class in presenting 
 each with one of his wonderful X-ray fluorescent 
 tubes, by which any '8i man can hereafter divine the 
 secrets of nature and the workings of his adversaries' 
 minds with infallible accuracy. Those of the Class 
 not present should write to learn the secret from 
 those who were. After the luncheon was over, a 
 good part of the afternoon was spent on the broad, 
 breezy porch, — largely in commiserating those of 
 the fellows who had not had the good luck to be in 
 Princeton and attend. 
 
 Monday proved another day of Class arrivals, sev- 
 eral coming then who had not been able to come 
 sooner. Many of the fellows spent a part of the 
 morning out on the campus, which presented the 
 familiar festive Commencement scene, with groups 
 of undergraduates and pretty girls sitting about on

THE '81 CLASS REUNION 
 
 the benches, marching classes, returning grads spy- 
 ing out the land, and at noon a dense crowding 
 around Old North's steps to see, if not hear, the Ivy 
 Oration. Year by year the historic old campus im- 
 proves in beauty, and new buildings rise here and 
 there in the college grounds. A stately gateway 
 now stands on Nassau Street directly in front of 
 North, with a new path leading into the grounds, 
 making what may be termed the formal entrance to 
 the University precincts. Down by the fine new 
 Gymnasium and east of Brokaw Field, work is well 
 under way on the last new dormitory, Patton Hall, 
 to an extension of which our Class is so liberally 
 contributing, and which continues the beautiful Eng- 
 lish University Gothic scheme begun with Blair and 
 Little Halls and carried on with the Gymnasium 
 itself. Over on McCosh Walk is rising a handsome 
 new lecture and recitation building, fitly named Mc- 
 Cosh Hall. Beyond this is seen a striking building, 
 of rich russet-colored stone and effective architectural 
 lines, — the '79 Dormitory, built and presented to 
 the college singly and unaided through the munifi- 
 cence of the Class of '79. Everywhere about the 
 campus and grounds are visible the signs of aca- 
 demic progress and prosperity. 
 
 At four o'clock on Monday afternoon the Class 
 repaired in force to a tea at Henry Duffield's hos- 
 pitable home, which is also on Library Place, a new 
 and attractive street paralleling Bayard Lane, a little 
 
 7 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 farther out. The Class's wives and children were 
 also invited, and Mrs. Butler, Mrs. Cauldwell, Mrs. 
 Dix, Dunn's son, Mrs. and Miss Jackson, Mrs. 
 Kirk, Mrs. Van Alen, Mrs. Voorhees and Mrs. 
 Webb were among those welcomed by Mrs. Duf- 
 field, and by Henry himself, now the Treasurer of 
 Princeton University — likewise by Susan Cornelia 
 Duffield, aged five, and Daniel Morrell Duffield, 
 aged two and a half. 
 
 The Class Meeting came off at Headquarters at 
 half-past five on the same afternoon. Munn, Class 
 President, called the meeting to order, and first briefly 
 explained the proposition for a Class Memorial, to 
 take the form of an individual section of the new 
 dormitory, a continuation of Patton Hall, to be 
 known as the Class of 1 8 8 1 Entry. This dormitory, 
 which is to be built on the " Globe Wernicke" sys- 
 tem of units, is capable of indefinite extension, it 
 being thus possible for a large number ot classes to 
 contribute to its erection. Munn stated that the 
 project had been discussed and approved in an 
 informal gathering of about twenty of the Class 
 at a dinner given in New York in the spring by 
 John Pitney, to whose initiative the plan was largely 
 due. 1 1 7,500 was the minimum to be raised, but 
 with 125,000 a more distinctive and striking section 
 of the building could be put up. It was pointed 
 out that a memorial gift of this kind is practically a 
 direct addition to the endowment of the University, 
 
THE '81 CLASS REUNION 
 
 while at the same time assuring the perpetuation ot 
 the name of '81. 
 
 It was moved by Cauldwell, and unanimously car- 
 ried, that the project be ratified, and that the largest 
 and best section possible be erected with the funds 
 to be obtained. 
 
 A modification of this resolution was suggested, 
 to the effect that the expenses of the present reunion, 
 and also a small reserve fund for future contingent 
 Class expenses, reports, printing, postage, and the 
 like, be charged against the memorial fund, or, in 
 other words, that one fund should suffice for the 
 whole. It was shown to be difficult, if not imprac- 
 ticable, to run two separate funds, and double con- 
 tributions would be by no means easy to levy. The 
 interest alone on the proposed fund, accumulating 
 within the year before it should be needed for build- 
 ing purposes, would probably be adequate to cover all 
 such reunion and contingent expenses, so that the 
 memorial fund itself need not be appreciably lessened. 
 On motion of van Dyke, the Class unanimously 
 supported this suggestion, and authorized the of- 
 ficers to so provide trom the fund. 
 
 Hudnut, Treasurer of the Class, announced that 
 subscriptions to the amount of $20,200 had already 
 been made to the fund, which is to be due in July, 
 1907. 
 
 It was moved that a vote of thanks be tendered by 
 the Class to Arthur Scribner for his liberality in con- 
 
 9 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 nection with the cost of printing the Class Record, 
 " After Twenty Years," five years ago. The Presi- 
 dent and Treasurer have at various times tried to ob- 
 tain an accounting from him as to the sum still unre- 
 paid to him by the Class, which, it is suspected, 
 amounts to several hundred dollars ; but Scribner 
 has put them off with the shameless assertion that 
 he had mislaid or lost his memoranda of the mat- 
 ter, and he finally ended by declining to accept re- 
 imbursement at all. A hearty and appreciative vote 
 of thanks was passed by acclamation. 
 
 It was moved by Butler that '8i as a body ex- 
 press the hope that at Commencement seasons the 
 practice of having free liquid refreshments, now fol- 
 lowed by many classes, will be abandoned ; and that 
 a memorial expressing their strong disapproval of 
 the excesses now occasionally to be witnessed be pre- 
 pared by a committee of three to be appointed by 
 the Chair, and transmitted to the Class Officers' As- 
 sociation of the Alumni, which is interesting itself 
 in this matter. The motion was carried, and Butler, 
 Dix and Harlan were appointed as such committee.* 
 
 The election of Class officers was next in order. 
 The President, thanking the Class for the honor 
 shown him in previous elections, announced that he 
 
 * The committee subsequently prepared the following minute, 
 which the Class Secretary has duly transmitted as directed :

 the occasion of its twenty-fifth graduation anniversary, that it views

 was not a candidate for reelection. The Class recog- 
 nized his sincerity, but utterly scouted his wishes. 
 It was moved by Ad. Rodgers that the Secretary be 
 instructed to cast the vote of the Class for the entire 
 present board of officers. The motion was numer- 
 ously seconded. To save the Chair embarrass- 
 ment, Rodgers proceeded to put the motion himself; 
 and, drowning out Munn's protests, it was carried 
 with a roar of acclamation. 
 
 It was moved, seconded and carried that the Class 
 approve and indorse the so-called Dix system of 
 group reunions, devised by the Secretary, published 
 in the Princeton Alumni Weekly, and subsequently 
 under discussion in the Class Officers' Association 
 and among the alumni, whereby groups of contigu- 
 ous classes among the older graduates should hold 
 their reunions at the same time ; that a minute of the 
 
 with regret and disapprobation the practice, which has unfortunately 
 become prevalent at manv reunion Headquarters, of free distribution 
 of liquid refreshments during Commencement week ; 
 
 " That it is the unanimous sentiment of the Class that the Alumni 
 should use their earnest endeavors to obtain the cessation of a custom 
 prejudicial to the best interests of the University, and to that end 
 that the committee appointed bring these resolutions to the attention 
 ot the Class Officers' Association and take such other measures as may 
 be proper to carrv them into effect." 
 
 [Signed,] Charles Henry Butler, 
 Edwin A. Dix,

 Committee.

 Class's approval of the system be sent to the Class 
 Officers' Association ; and that if said system should 
 be put into effect, the next reunion of the Class be 
 held under that schedule ; and otherwise that the 
 next reunion and Class meeting be held in Princeton 
 five years hence. 
 
 The meeting then, on motion, adjourned. 
 
 Rose came along with his big camera soon after- 
 ward, and another fine Class picture, reproduced 
 opposite, was taken on the steps of Ivy Hall, across 
 the street from Headquarters.

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 After the repast (which was excellent) had been 
 sufficiently toyed with, Munn got up and made a 
 few genial remarks of greeting to the Class, par- 
 ticularly welcoming those who had come long dis- 
 tances, as from California and Italy and far-oft Asia 
 Minor, wholly or largely to be present at the re- 
 union. The Class loyally applauded this sentiment. 
 To show that we were not forgotten by others also 
 distant, who were unable to come, he read out the 
 following cable-telegram from Carlsbad in Austria : 
 
 "Via French, June li, 1906. 
 
 "To Munn, Care Duffield, Princeton : 
 
 " Contrratulations on Yale victories, health and best 
 
 wishes to classmates, deeply regret absence. 
 
 " Pitney." 
 
 The Class gave three cheers for Pitney. 
 
 Dix, who was next called upon, had another tele- 
 gram to read out. It was from Wien, which being 
 interpreted is Vienna, and ran as follows : 
 
 "Govt., Via Azores, June 11, 1906. 
 " To Class Eighty-One, Princeton, N. J. : 
 " Hoch der Ein und Achtzig, yah, yah ! 
 
 " Landon." 
 
 The Class gave three cheers for Landon. 
 
 The Secretary then read a number of extracts 
 from letters from Thorn, who had hoped to be pres- 
 ent, but had been prevented at the last. The ex- 
 
 14 
 
THE 81 CLASS REUNION 
 
 tracts consisted ot notes and information about 
 various '8 i men whom Thom has run across recent- 
 ly,- — Walsh, Vanderburgh, McCune, Allen, Skin- 
 ner, etc. These items will be found among the 
 Class notes and new^s, further on. Thom's final 
 communication, sent to arrive for the reunion itselt, 
 revealed a pencil picture of a scholarly looking gent, 
 seated before a bottle of Scotch and a siphon, with 
 this legend : 
 
 " Here's to '81 ! 
 
 "Small jov in Chicago, June iith, but I'm with vou in 
 spirit, if not in anything more tangible. 
 
 " To the best Class of the best College. Prosit ! 
 
 "H. C. Thom." 
 
 Whereupon the Class gave three cheers tor 
 Walsh, Vanderburgh, McCune, Allen, Skinner and 
 Thom collectively. 
 
 Music was next in order and the Class sang with 
 fervor " The Good Old College Time," written by 
 the Secretary for a previous Class occasion and now 
 found in the Carmina Prince tonia. 
 
 The President next called on one from w^hom 
 we were all heartily interested to hear, — Billy Dodd, 
 who is home from his hospital work in Cesarea on 
 a year's furlough, and who found himself one of the 
 stars of the reunion. He gave some account ot his 
 life among the unspeakable Turks, of the general 
 social and political conditions prevailing in the 
 
 15 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 region, and of the encouragements as well as the 
 difficulties of his work. He told a number of 
 anecdotes illustrating the hardships and injustice 
 often suffered by the natives, the influence of this 
 medical mission, and the like. 
 
 The Class gave three cheers for Dodd. 
 
 " While We Are Marching Through Princeton " 
 was next sung with a will. 
 
 Allusion was then made to the fact the Class Boy, 
 who is now a senior, was present at the dinner, and 
 that his father had provided a loving-cup, filled 
 with pleasant cheer, from which to drink the young 
 man's health. The cup thereupon was sent the 
 round of the table, and young Farr, being called 
 upon, rose and responded gracefully to the good 
 wishes expressed by the Class. He was followed by 
 old Farr (this sounds both premature and disre- 
 spectful, but there appears no practicable way of 
 otherwise differentiating the two), who alluded to 
 voung Farr's satisfactory progress in college, and 
 thanked the Class for the interest they had always 
 manifested in his (young Farr's, not old F'arr's,) 
 welfare. The Class rejoined with three cheers for 
 both Farrs, and sang " Old Nassau." 
 
 Blydenburgh, being next summoned to the dais, 
 read the following poem, which he had written for 
 the occasion : 
 
 Time may speed and the times may drive, 
 And the roll of the years be twenty-five, 
 i6 
 
THE '8i CLASS REUNION 
 
 But the olden charm 's in the breath we draw, 
 Under the spell of Old Nassau. 
 
 Go, seal your hearts and hide away 
 
 Their secrets in the busy day ; 
 
 Our fellowship unlocks them all. 
 
 Beneath the elms of Nassau Hall ; 
 
 For youth is here, and youth will know 
 
 The immortal hearts of long ago. 
 
 While here and there we know a comrade passed, — 
 
 Those shining presences which lighted days 
 
 Rich in a thousand memories, — the Class 
 
 Holds in its golden chain beneath the stars 
 
 The loyal brothers of our Eighty-One. 
 
 Have you had quiet guard, O sentinel ? 
 Challenge to challenge round the fortress flies, — 
 
 " All's well ! 
 
 " Still in their citadel, 
 " Our old ideals are safe against surprise." 
 
 The Class gave three cheers for Blydenburgh, 
 and Harlan sang a solo, " Some Dear Old Good 
 Fellows I Know," the dear old good fellows coming 
 in on the chorus. 
 
 Dunn and Wills each made an impromptu but 
 capital speech, commingled of humor and earnest- 
 ness, and each was roundly applauded. Harlan told 
 ot his machinations in arranging to have the Com- 
 mencement dates at Lake Forest College, of which 
 he is President, changed in such a way as not to 
 
 17 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 conflict with his reunion dates for Princeton ; and 
 Tommy Warren, in the course of a brief but bril- 
 liant speech which convulsed the house, explained 
 that at Mohawk he had not machinated to change 
 any specific dates, but had simply stopped the entire 
 political, commercial and social machinery of the 
 place for the time being in order to permit of his 
 absence. 
 
 The Class gave three cheers each for Dunn, Wills, 
 Harlan and Warren. 
 
 The evening was waning, and at Munn's sugges- 
 tion the men now grouped around the piano to sing 
 a new song, written for the reunion. It was entitled : 
 
 "THE CLASS OF EIGHTY-ONE." 
 
 Air : " Mr. Dooley " 
 Words by the Class Secretary 
 
 I 
 
 When first we came to Princeton, nine and twenty years ago, 
 There was a bunch of Seniors that monopolized the show. 
 They looked with scorn on every other undergraduate; 
 They were the one and only Class, — the Class of Seventy- 
 Eight. 
 
 But soon the scorning was changed to mourning ; 
 
 They realized their course was nearly run. 
 They were not in it, not for a minute, 
 
 Not in it with the Class of Eighty-One. 
 
 i8 
 
THE 81 CLASS REUNION

 The Junior Class was suffering from cranial excess; 
 They plainly felt that thev were It, and nothing more nor 
 
 less. 
 On all this rolling planet there was nothing quite so fine ; 
 Of course you know the Class we mean, — the Class of Sev- 
 enty-Nine. 
 
 They had some merit; we'd not impair it; 
 But now thev found a finer class begun. 
 Thev were not in it, not for a minute. 
 Not in it with the Class of Eighty-One. 
 
 3 
 There was another outfit, our hereditary foes, 
 The warlike Class of Eighty, of a sophomoric pose. 
 They undertook to rule us and direct what we should do ; 
 They put up proclamations, and they hazed us, one or two. 
 We hazed the hazers, with glue and razors ; 
 
 In cane-spree and in rush we took the bun ;

 And four years later, when we left, in Eighteen-Eighty-One, 
 'Twas Jimmie said we were the finest class beneath thesun; 
 That as for Eighty-Two and Eighty-Three and Eighty-Four, 
 They were but imitations, painted shadows on the floor. 
 Within the knowledge of all the college. 
 
 No Class had done the things that we had done. 
 The\' were not in it, not for a minute. 
 Not in it with the Class of Eighty-One.

 And now as we come back again, when many years are 
 
 past, 
 We find that good old Eighty-One has never been outclassed. 
 The later classes come and go, they have their little fling; 
 But none are really corkers, like the Class of which we sing. 
 
 They're often able, — quite creditable ; 
 
 They live their day and have their little fun; 
 But they're not in it, not for a minute, 
 
 Not in it with the Class of Eighty-One. 
 
 The Class gave three cheers for Dix, the song, and 
 Itself, and after some further singing and fraterniz- 
 ing, the assemblage broke up and the Reunion Din- 
 ner was over. A march in force around the Little 
 Triangle followed, and then a number of the men 
 went over to have a look in at the Soph. Reception, in 
 the big new Gym, where, among other attractions, 
 we were introduced to one of Phil Jackson's married 
 daughters. Cauldwell's and McAlpin's daughters 
 were among those dancing. After which, an adjourn- 
 ment was made to Headquarters, where the lower 
 lights can be vouched for as burning at least as late 
 as 3 A.M. 
 
 This ended the formal Class events of the re- 
 union ; but a good many of the fellows were still in 
 town, the following day, to call in a group on 
 Mrs. McCosh, who is still living in Princeton at 
 the age of ninety; and to form in line with other

 Davy Wills make a great speech in responding 
 for the Class on that occasion. There were also 
 some remaining to attend President Wilson's recep- 
 tion at Prospect on the same afternoon; and to en- 
 joy the promenade concert on the campus in the 
 evening, where the band played, and the Seniors sang 
 for the last time but one on the steps, and whence, 
 at half-past nine, all flocked around to the cannon, 
 to see one of the mightiest bonfires ever kindled in 
 Princeton, signaling the college joy over the glorious 
 baseball victory of Saturday. Streamed the flames 
 high and higher into the darkness of the sky, light- 
 ing up the faces of the thousands clustered about, 
 and illuminating the sentinel elms, and West, and 
 the new Library where East used to stand, and the 
 two gleaming marble Halls, and the dear, familiar 
 tower of Old Nassau itself, whose bell was clanging 
 away in a mad outburst of joyous hilarity. So let 
 us leave the scene, emblematic, as we all hope and 
 believe, of many future victories, along all lines, for 
 Princeton, — as well as of many future and equally 
 happy reunions for Princeton's loyal Class of 1881.

 CHARLES E. CRAVEN 
 
 Charlie is to bring out in November a History of 
 Mattituck, the Long Island town where he is pastor 
 of the Presbyterian Church. The book tells the 
 storv of the village from the original allotment of 
 the land in 1661 to the present time, and is to be 
 fully illustrated. It will sell for I1.50 in cloth and 
 $2.50 in half morocco. In view of the growing in- 
 terest and importance in this country of matters an- 
 cestral and genealogical, a volume of this kind has a 
 real and permanent value, and it would be an inval- 
 uable gain to American history if pastors in others

 ZACHARIAH KEPNER LOUCKS 
 
 A telegram received by the Princeton Faculty re- 
 cords the death of Loucks, on June i6th, in Phila- 
 delphia. The tuneral was on June 20th, at the fam- 
 ily residence at Loucks Mills, York, Pa. 
 
 The Class will regret sincerely to learn of this pass- 
 ing away of one of their number, even though it has 
 seen so little of him since graduation. Loucks was 
 a lawyer practising in Philadelphia, and was also a 
 member of the firm of Z. K. & H. J. Loucks's 
 Sons, of York, manufacturers of high-grade flours 
 and dealers in grain. He was further interested in 
 several other business and real-estate enterprises. 
 He was unmarried. He died of typhoid fever. 
 
 So far as the Secretary knows, this is but the third 
 death to occur in the Class since the Twentieth-Year 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 Reunion, five years ago ; the others being those of 
 Robert Creighton Bradish, who died in New York 
 on June 21, 1901, and of Frank Loney, who died 
 in Atlantic City, N. J., on April 27, 1903. 
 
 EDWARD F. AND HARRY K. 
 MATTHEWS 
 
 The Secretary has lately succeeded in obtaining 
 some long lacking and important information about 
 Ed and Harry, through the kindness of Mr. Mor- 
 timer Matthews, of Cincinnati. 
 
 On leaving college, in February, 1878, Edward 
 returned to Cincinnati, and studied law in the office 
 of his uncle, Stanley Matthews, attending at the 
 same time the Cincinnati Law School. Whether he 
 entered the bar or not is not certain ; at any rate, he 
 never practised law. I. H. Hess, of '78, was study- 
 ing law in the same office at that time and the two 
 young men had rooms together and were chums 
 during that portion of their student life. In De- 
 cember, 1884, Ed went to Florida for the purpose 
 of investing in an orange grove. While on the 
 water, one day, his boat capsized, and he wore his 
 wet clothes for the remainder of the day. This 
 resulted in a severe cold, which developed into ery- 
 sipelas, of which he died on January 9, 1885, at 
 Rockledge, Fla., at the age of 27 years. He died 
 in the hotel at that place utterly alone. His mother

 and brother were notified oi his iUness, but did not 
 arrive until after he was dead and buried. Thev 
 removed his remains to Spring Grove Cemeterv near 
 Cincinnati. 
 
 "As you know," writes Mr. Mortimer Matthews, 
 " he was a voung man of considerable talents and 
 charming social qualities. While not of a ruga;ed 
 constitution, as evidenced to some extent by the 
 manner of his death, he was a very athletic tellow. 
 His appearance in this respect, however, was decep- 
 tive ; he had rather a delicate look. I remember 
 an episode which took place while he was studving 
 law at Cincinnati which illustrates what I have just 
 said. He was driving in a bugs;v with a friend on 
 Spring Grove Avenue in the suburbs ot Cincinnati, 
 when he and his friend were annoyed bv a couple ot 
 young " toughs " driving in another vehicle. The 
 latter took umbrage at perhaps his aristocratic ap- 
 pearance, and while passing and repassing grew more 
 and more insulting. Kd finally could not stand it 
 anv longer, and alighted trom his buggv and asked 
 them to step out and receive their punishment. 
 Thev were delighted at the opportunitv, but were 
 considerably surprised when Ed gave them both a 
 sound thrashing. Perhaps some of his classmates 
 may imagine the scene and be amused." 
 
 Harry Matthews had a verv different career, 
 though brief and brilliant. For perhaps a year or 
 
 29 
 
AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 
 
 two after leaving college he resided in Cincinnati, 
 but soon went to Chicago and began speculating in 
 wheat. He was very brilliant and successful at this, 
 due in large measure to his really phenomenal math- 
 ematical ability, which perhaps some of his class- 
 mates will remember. The game was fascinating to 
 him. Within two or three years he acquired a fort- 
 une of almost half a million dollars. At this period 
 he was known in the newspapers as the " plunger." 
 The life was so alluring and exciting, however, that 
 he could not quit ; and in the end he lost everything 
 in the crash which ruined K. L. Harper and a num- 
 ber of other Cincinnati men who had attempted to 
 corner wheat. 
 
 Harry afterwards regained a portion of his fort- 
 une, but became broken in health, owing to the im- 
 mense nervous strain to which he was subjected. 
 He gave up his business in Chicago, and traveled 
 in search of health. He finally settled in Galveston, 
 Texas, and was engaged in selling wheat on com- 
 mission. His health, however, had been under- 
 mined, and he died there, on December 27, 1891, 
 at the age of 30 years. 
 
 Neither Ed nor Harry Matthews ever married.

 months. He has been accorded a year's leave of 
 absence from his chair of Latin at Vassar College, 
 but he does not promise that it shall be a " Sabbat-

 Continental variety. He will visit England and 
 Northern Europe, but plans to spend the greater

 HENRY CHARLES PORTER 
 
 Dr. Porter, otherwise Polly, is in charge of an in- 
 teresting enterprise, which has just successfully com- 
 pleted its first year, — the Farm School, " a school 
 in the country tor backward or difficult boys, who 
 have not developed mentally to the same degree 
 as other boys." Individual training and attention 
 is closely given to each pupil. The school is in 
 the rural free deliverv district of Media, Pa., about 
 two miles from Wallingford station on the Penn- 
 sylvania R. R. 
 
 Porter's work is not such as '8i can avail itselt 
 of, for there are of course no backward or difficult 
 sons in the Class ; but it is needed work, and know- 
 ing Porter, the Class can know that it is good 
 work.

 Being in New Jersey, you are not familiar with the

 stand-patting, revision of the tariff, and an increas- 
 ing income-tax according to the greatness of the fort- 
 une. Put the trusts out of business, and use a curb 
 bit on the corporations." 
 
 Roseberry is a delegate to the State Convention, 
 and also to the Judicial Convention. He visited 
 Princeton last August, for the first time since 1883,

 the same work tor Tennent and its vicinity that Craven 
 has been doing for Mattituck, Long Island. His 
 " History of Old Tennent Church," first published 
 in 1897, and revised and enlarged last vear, is much 
 more than a simple account of the church itself, of 
 which Symmes is the fifteenth pastor. The book 
 gives valuable and hitherto unpublished data con- 
 cerning numerous early families of the town and 
 countv ; ancestral tables and references; marriage, 
 birth, baptismal and mortuary records ; old traditions, 
 and a new narrative of the great battle ; and it con- 
 tains over fifty maps and illustrations, — making a 
 500-page, five-dollar volume of present and future 
 interest alike to the historian and the genealogist. 
 Work ot this kind is ot solid and substantial impor- 
 tance, and means long and painstaking labor and 
 often no inconsiderable private expense. Such ad-

 ciative mention.

 miles. In the course ot the trip he went from San 
 Diego to Seattle, the length of the Pacific Coast 
 
 33

 States, and found himself in Oakland the day after 
 the earthquake. He did not cross to San Francisco, 
 as no one was permitted to do so. " By day," he 
 says, "you could see nothing of San Francisco; 
 smoke cut off the entire city. By night you could 
 see it all, and those who saw will never forget. If 
 I could, I'd try to tell a little of it, but there aren't 
 any words tor it." 
 
 Thom has been doing a real service, not merely 
 to the Secretary but to the Class, in collecting items 
 of news about '8i men from time to time and send- 
 ing them on. The Secretary has already thanked 
 him by letter, and takes this opportunity of thank- 
 ing him again and publicly. If other men will form 
 the same habit, of sending in all the '8i items that 
 come their way, whether important or unimportant, 
 and whether about themselves or others of the Class, 
 the whole Class will reap the reward in having fre- 
 quent and interesting Bulletins to read and keep. 
 
 Thom writes :

 I saw Dominie Gosman last evening at Butte. He is 
 now employed at one of the mines upon the hill and has 
 rooms in the Clark Building, but expects to go to house- 
 keeping again this spring. He is about as his picture in

 the top of his head. He seems prosperous and content, and, 
 as usual in the mining country, stands to do well this year.

 I noticed that everybody that came into the hotel seemed 
 to know him and have a glad word for him, — about half 
 calling him Charlie. 
 
 I enjoyed seeing him very much, and found that, like the 
 other outliers who can't o;et back and seldom see an '8i 
 man, his interest was as keen as ever. . . . 
 
 April 28. 
 
 I saw Walsh in St. Paul vesterdav afternoon. He has 
 cut off the luxuriant beard that adorns his picture in the 
 Record^ . . . and his short-trimmed mustache is iron-gray. 
 I think that he must have rung in an old photo, on the confid- 
 ing editors. But aside from gravness he isn't much changed, 
 and he still has the same smile and cheery way. He is 
 Cashier of the Northwestern Fuel Co. in St. Paul. 
 
 He saw Vanderburgh and McCune at an Alumni Din- 
 ner about three weeks ago, and reports both well. He un- 
 derstands that Van is running for Congress; is in no business 
 except looking after his propertv. McCune is running for 
 Probate Judge in Minneapolis. 
 
 Walsh says that Allen is now District Judge, — " the 
 next thing to the Governor in North Dakota." 
 
 May 19. 
 My clerk waked me up from a mass of inspection notes 
 that I was trying to put in shape yesterday, saying that some 
 one wanted to see me. I went over to the railing, and 
 found a short man, wearing eyeglasses and a short-clipped 
 mustache, besides the usual articles of clothing necessary to 
 prevent arrest and to " put up a front " as a business man. 
 He smiled and put out his hand. I had to acknowledge 
 
 35

 that while I knew his face was familiar, I couldn't place 
 him. 
 
 " You wouldn't guess in a thousand years. Princeton, 
 '8i." 
 
 " Bonner Skinner, come in ! " 
 
 Except that his hair and mustache are iron-gray, he hasn't 
 changed much. Meeting him anywhere that you expected 
 to see an '8 1 man or even a known Princeton man, he 'd 
 be recognized. 
 
 He is now General Agent for the American Fire Extin- 
 guisher, manufactured by the Eagle Tool Co. of Cincinnati, 
 and has his office at 269 Dearborn Street, this city (Chicago). 
 He still lives on Cass Street, on the North Side. . . . Skin- 
 ner savs that he made and lost about $500,000, and has to 
 work now. I think that he has a pretty good thing now, and 
 should do well. He is interested with others of his family 
 in a copper mine, for which they have just refused to give a 
 year's option at $3,000,000. It is rich, but will not be on 
 a railroad for twelve or eighteen months. He expects his 
 share to net him a comfortable amount. 
 
 He belongs to the can't-get-away club this summer, and 
 will not be at the reunion. . . . 
 
 Sincerely yours,

 pose two years ago, and he is now president of the

 the brief time of its existence, this board has planted 
 over twenty-five hundred new trees in the streets of 
 Newark, besides doing assiduous work in preserving 
 the fine old trees already standing, destroying their 
 insect enemies, and the like. The commission has 
 lately also been given charge of the city parks. A 
 part of their work which is pretty wide-reaching is 
 correspondence with other municipalities that have 
 heard of the results they have attained and are 
 spurred to follow the example. Titsworth's scheme, 
 which is of course wholly disinterested, is along broad 
 lines and is going to do much in adorning the city,
